The image I posted above an hour ago clearly shows a dangerous tackle on james McCarthy with the foot around the ankle while being pulled back. Yet not 1 comment on it why ?

Eh, perhaps because with that image you said, “Great catch by Fento”. That is all. The blue circle seems to have appeared later on… In anyway looks like Jameo is backing into the Monaghan lad and that there Bill.

Was that really true about PTG talking about Kevin Mac? Was he really talking as if he was on the pitch??

Is PTG Canavan? If so then yep, he said it two or three times at half time highlighting Kevin Mc’s run to the wings - it generally seemed to be Rock he was highlighting. It is sort of understandable that you could get a player wrong, but no one in the studio corrected him, even after he repeated it.

That’s just brutal! One of the most famous players in the country, who looks nothing like Dean Rock (who’s also a very well-known/easily recognised guy). I read somewhere that he(Peter The Great) is the best pundit/analyst on tv. Ha!

Ah PTG = Peter the Great, I get it now…

I think it was Mickey Harte who was extoling his virtues as a pundit, so you would have to take that with a pinch of salt. I think he is very basic. I don’t normally go to Davy Fitz for pearls or wisdom, but he said recently that a good pundit is one who tells you something you can’t see for yourself, and on that basis they would probably all fail, except maybe Colm O Rourke and maybe Dessie Dolan. I thought O Rourke got the Dublin kick out strategy spot on the other week (facing into a kickout). I never understood why we were a man short in the forwards facing kickouts, yet we played with six forwards, but O Rourke showed it well. Unfortunately he showed it to the rest of the country as well.

Pundits get Dublin very wrong in most instances - their constant reference to someone playing as a sweeper just really means the other team don’t have six forwards so we have spare men. They generally have no idea who is playing where either, they never get either Lowndes or Scully correct, if they are a half forward or a half back. It took them about 3 years to change ‘Dublin are devoid of ideas’ to ‘Dublin are being patient’. It took them about 10 years to realise that you are not actually cheating by kicking the ball out to one of your own men and not giving a 50/50. They still haven’t really realised that if you are winning then there is no great point in attacking for the sake of it and risking turning the ball over.

Didn’t ‘so called god’ say Monaghan would run Dublin close.
In fact every Dublin opposition comes with the same description
Like Tyrone they over complicate football it’s in their blood with years of close matches
It’s up to us the crusaders Dublin and Kerry to keep football blessed

Yeah he’s honest mr o se obviously a changed man since his playing days
Ciaran is alright s bit wooden some times but again very honest
The Tyrone stooge was like the rest of the team glamour pusses with over rated egos (excluding Harte who is exceptional player and individual tbh)

McGuigan’s only contribution of note was when he said Tyrone’s defenders won’t follow the Dubs out to the wing, they’ll protect the centre at all costs.

Should be an intriguing contest. Tyrone will present a different set of problems than we’ve faced all year. And Gavin feels the squad are building momentum at the right time. Add Connolly, and Kev, raring to get back in, it’s set up nicely.
